Below is a reference guide for formatting pages. A general rule of thumb is to just refer to whatever the Deus Ex fandom wikia does and try to copy it.
Templates & Examples
Images
To use images you need to upload them first. On the right panel of this wiki should be a section called Tools. Under it, in the General section, there is an Upload file link.
Fanart
To avoid complicated filenames, please simplify the destination filename otherwise it will be frustrating to link back to these images easily when editing a page. For example, when uploading a fanart that has a name like IMG_8389373_83728738.jpg, change the destination name to something like:
ArtistName_CharacterName_ImageNo.jpg
For example, for a piece of art created by the artist Heartspowl depicting the character Iris:
Heartspowl_Iris_2.jpg
Gallery
Each character page showcases a fanart gallery. Galleries are divided by original artist and other artists for easier navigation. Other artists should have a caption that indicates the artist name, like so:
by ArtistName
Tables
Character Info
For character info table, just paste one from another page that already has one. The table is 300px wide, and should always be at the very top of the page, i.e. at the beginning of the text formatting box for the entire page (unless there is a disclaimer info box), otherwise it will not display correctly to the right of the content on the page.
The first row of the character info table must contain the name of the character being discussed, and the second row must contain a headshot image of the character. Recommended size is 256px width/height.
The colors of the table can be modified to show which era the character is from or primarily active during significant events of the canon timeline. Gold is Human Revolution & Mankind Divided (2020's), Blue is Deus Ex (2050's), Purple is Invisible War (2070's). In rare circumstances where a Project: Snowblind OC is encountered, the assigned color is Teal. Some characters may be from alternative universes or spin-offs, in which case the colors should be left unaltered from the original plain template to avoid confusion.
